xxxi.

“D.B. Cooper was six feet tall,” Jules said.

Marty threw his paper plate into the fire and shrugged. “People under duress are terrible at judging anything, let alone height. I probably did look six feet tall to them.”

“You’re not D.B. Cooper.”

“Yeah,” Verne said, lying on his sleeping bag. “Even I’m not buying this one.”

“Do you even know how to use a parachute?”

“Do you?”

“Why would I need to know how to use a parachute?” Jules asked. “I’m six.”

Marty tsked. “I jumped out of my first plane when I was five –"

“You’re not D.B. Cooper!”

Details under the cut:

D.B.Cooper: On a flight from Portland to Seattle he told a flight attendant he had a bomb and demanded 200 thousand dollars (1970s money). In Seattle he got 4 parachutes and let the passengers out and then instructed the crew to fly to Mexico City. He jumped out before the plane even left Washington. He was never found. They did find some of the money in a river tho. Probably died of not knowing how to operate a parachute properly.

Mansa Musa: He was a king of the Mali empire and in 1324 went on a pilgrimage to Mecca. He was VERY rich. He gave gold away to people on the way. A lot of gold. He made inflation a thing before capitalism was a thing. Wild. Anyway I know we all hate inflation (well. ) but if a king gave me gold and built a mosque in my town (assuming im muslim in this scenario) i probably wouldnt mind.

D. B. COOPER

Unidentified man who hijacked a plane, money and escaped by parachute

24 November 1971

            A man aged in his 40s, who wore a dark suit and carried a briefcase boarded the Boeing 727, on Northwest Orient’s Flight 305 from Portland, Oregon the flight was to go to Seattle, Washington.

            During the flight, the man handed a flight attendant a note telling her he was carrying a bomb in his briefcase. He showed her the ‘bomb’ and stated his demands; he wanted four parachutes, a fuel truck waiting for the plane when it lands, and $200,000 in $20 banknotes

            When the plane landed in Seattle, the man (nicknamed ‘D.B. Cooper’) allowed the passengers and two flight attendants to leave. Officials at the airport handed him the money and the parachutes and he ordered the pilot to fly towards Mexico City. 45 minutes into the flight, he put on the parachute and jumped out of the plane north of Portland into the dark on a rainy night. He left behind two parachutes and his clip on tie.

            The FBI launched a manhunt in the area where he jumped out of the plane but found no leads. Cooper had bought a ticket in the name of D. Cooper, either Dan Cooper or Dale Cooper. The male had brown eyes, well-spoken, and a bourbon drinker. The FBI believed he wouldn’t have survived the jump.

            In 1980, Brian Ingram, aged 8 and his family were having a picnic by Columbia River near Vancouver, Washington. As they were trying to clear a spot to build a campfire, Brian unearthed a packet of money in the sand in $20 notes which matched the numbers of the ransom money which were handed to Cooper. The FBI searched the site but found nothing else. They found a DNA sample on the tie but it didn’t match up with any suspects.

            In 2011, Marla Cooper, contacted the FBI and told them that her uncle, Lynn Doyle Cooper, who was a Vietnam veteran was D.B. Cooper. She said when she was aged 8 he came home injured in 1971 and claimed he was hurt in a car crash. He told the family that their ‘money troubles are over’. He died in 2011. The FBI couldn’t connect him to the hijacking.

[1971 November 24, 2:30 p.m., PST]

It was a brisk 51 degrees Fahrenheit outside, winds coming from the South, on this cold November day in Portland, Oregon. A long way from where she was not but a few months ago, when she ran away from the Baron's castle in the German state of Bavaria. A lot has happened in such a short time. Raven had a beautiful son, Kurt, with her lover Irene Adler until they were caught by her Husband, the Baron Christian Wagner. They had to kill him to be safe. Raven had to have Irene take Kurt to safety, and then she herself had to go on the run, away from the two loves of her life. Long story short Raven Darkholme was on the run and in hiding or at least she was in hiding. The angry mob that's coming after the freak of nature that killed their oh so special Baron, hired mutant hunters to track her down and kill her, or bring her to justice, but it was probably to just kill her. Well they found her, in Portland. Raven was forced to, once again, go on the run and take the form of one Florence Schaffner, a flight attendant of the Flight 305 of Northwest Orient Airlines.

A "Sea-Tac" (Seattle–Tacoma International Airport) flight, using a Boeing 727-100 (FAA registration N467US) as the bird to take her far away from this place and problem. Not a long flight, it would be about a half hour trip, or it was supposed to be, she could get off at Seattle and then find someone else to steal the identity of to jump somewhere else. Raven did not expect to find someone from her past, but generations ago, or the trip they'll go on this time around.

Raven boarded the flight as the flight attendant, moving and doing the things that she would do, saying the things that she would say. The flight was set to leave Portland International Airport at 2:50 pm PST. People started boarding the plane and taking their seats, no one seemed out of the normal, took their seats quietly as most people did on flights, at this point in time. She took her seat in 17-D, the Jump Seat, and took note that there was a gentleman sitting, in 18-E, behind her. At 2:50 pm PST, Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 took off from Portland International Airport. They were in the air.

Can't sleep again. Thinking about how I don't like knight/prince(ss) as a trope. Besides the fact that it's boring to me. This isn't "discourse" or a call out or anything it's just a personal interpretation and analysis

while yeah there's nothing wrong with that level of power imbalance in fiction, these tropes always act like that's a cute thing which I just find to be. 😬 y'know. Referring to a character as a "pet" for the royal one without understanding that that's. not a great dynamic to have. The "don't call them toxic or problematic!" When the relationship is inherently not equal and can never be without issues, but this can't possibly be discussed because then the person who ships it is a bad person 🙃

and for someee reason still bitching about the "more obvious" power imbalances like enemies, who most of the time end up being MORE equal because they're the same person same situation different fonts

It's fine to me when it's used as an insult (something something loyalty) and then there's discussion of "you know you mean so much more to me than that", or when there's a Very Obviously Fucked Up imbalance that is Very Obviously Not Normal and yet the one that gets the short end of the stick is like "fuck this I don't care that you think you're better than me. Your power only exists because I give you it, so be very careful how you use it" (and when they use it wrong there are consequences that don't get magically forgiven)

If the one with less control isn't very very aware of how much power the other has over them and could exert if they wanted to (but also the fact that the relationship and its genuineness hinges on their agreement) it gets a bit too concerning for me. If there isn't a certain level of meta intertextual analysis and understanding of the way the very much dominant/submissive dynamic works then it's just. Not interesting and often frustrating

Edit: this should have said intra-textual ("in the text itself", which I apparently not a word) not inter-textual (between texts)

Happy D. B. Cooper Day!

I still maintain that skydiving companies should offer a D. B. Cooper discount on November 24.
